Cash for food: freedom or dependency? Food Ethics - Winter '11 The Winter 2011 edition of Food Ethics magazine is an in-depth examination of social protection – cash- or in kind-transfers – in the Global South and the Global North. It highlights innovative programmes around the world delivered by governments and development NGOs. It assesses the work of Food Banks in the UK and Canada, and asks whether Government social protection schemes in the UK (particularly our welfare system and its current, ongoing reform) create dependency, or deliver society’s poorest members from poverty and hunger.

Banking biodiversity: Valuing or devaluing nature? Food Ethics - Summer '11 The summer 2011 edition of Food Ethics magazine examines the ethics of valuing nature. Contributors discuss the strengths and weaknesses of putting a monetary value on our ecosystem services, and explore other ways to protect biodiversity, including ecological and bioregional economics.

Food futures: utopia, dystopia or myopia? Food Ethics - Autumn '11 The Autumn ’11 edition of Food Ethics examines the usefulness of futures work in food and farming. Contributors look at the key findings of recent 'future of food' studies, and ask what assumptions underpin these various efforts to explore the future of food. Are these assumptions credible, and how can they inform strategic decision-making?

Nudge politics: Changing government, changing lives Food Ethics - Spring '11 In the Spring 2011 edition of Food Ethics, contributors including public health and sustainability experts assess the government’s moves to ‘nudge’ the public towards healthier and greener lives. Whilst they agree that the science behind nudge theory can be very effective in encouraging healthier and greener behaviour, they say that it should complement and enhance more traditional approaches to policy, not simply replace them.
